The npm registry is a seat gitea holds, and gitea holds the git seat a build's source can live on

Implements novox/hq ADR 0109, 0110 and 0111 in the catalogue.

package-registry becomes npm-package-registry throughout (ADR 0109): gitea provides and serves it,
verdaccio provides it, the builder requires, binds and receives its secret under it. gitea's
contributions file is grants/npm.json, so a second ecosystem's file has an obvious name beside it.

gitea claims two mesh seats (ADR 0110): npm-package-registry, which it delivers, and git, which it
now provides with what a clone URL is composed from — http on the forge's web port (ADR 0111).
verdaccio provides npm-package-registry and claims nothing: it is the second provider the seat
exists to make harmless, since a consumer now resolves to the seat's holder without a pin.

No cargo or PyPI provision is added; ADR 0109 defers that. git mints no credential, so gitea's
provisioner registers nothing for it — the mesh's own repositories are public, and a clone
credential is undecided (ADR 0111).

The provisioner still reads where its contributions land from $MESH_RECEIVES, and names no path
itself. One variable carries one path, so a second registration in this module would need the mesh
to say where each provision's file is; that is not possible yet and is not faked here.

Verified: the controller's tests read this catalogue — every claim is a seat in the set, the forge
holds both seats and serves what a clone URL needs, the builder requires what the npm seat delivers
— and pass. Not verified here: a TypeScript build of gitea, whose dependencies resolve from the
private registry.
